Daily value increased (erroneously) but Total didn't increase by that amount

I have configured my Glow to measure 2 LEDs, one for import and the other for solar exports. My meter is configured for net billing, so the import LED blinks when my solar production is less than what my house is consuming and the export LED blinks when my production is more than consumption. When they are matched then there are no blinks from either. On a typical day, the import LED is off for most of the day, and the export one is obviously off at night! They are also configured to blink per 10Wh so there can be quite a break between blinks for either LED anyway. I'm not sure if the big gaps in blinking explains the issue I witnessed today where I had no solar export during the day as it was cloudy until the afternoon where the sun came out at around 3pm.

I had a brief spike in Power Export recorded:

But this seems to have resulted in a massive increase in recorded Daily Export:

Strangely, it didn't end up being picked up in the Total Export, although it is probably accurate given it was sunny for 10min according to my weather station:

I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the "left" method of calculation mentioned in this post?

There was 15 hours since midnight until when my meter started registering solar exports and 36kWh / 15 is 2.4kW which what it recorded during that brief spike.

Any help would be appreciated!

I've added "method: left" to the YAML for both sensors and it has fixed the problem. This is a screenshot that I took soon after my solar started to overtake my consumption and the Total Daily is an appropriate value:

I think this option should be included in the code with an explanation. The default method doesn't work if there are long breaks in LED pulsing, which will become increasingly common as people deploy solar and batteries into their homes

I just discovered that this is mentioned in one of the FAQ files:

https://github.com/klaasnicolaas/home-assistant-glow/blob/61fca3532d7decc66e66ddecf5408e408225e9d5/docs/docs/faq/faq_nr7.md?plain=1

I think that it would still be valuable to put it in the code instead. It would have saved me several hours of troubleshooting!
